Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to eyeglasses, especially to fragrant eyeglasses in which at least one fragrant tablet is arranged at a nose bridge of the eyeglasses for allowing users to smell scents emanated from the fragrant tablet easily.


Description of Related Art

Besides practical functions such as vision correction, eye protection, etc., eyeglasses also need to have pleasing appearance and visual aesthetics. However, the eyeglasses provide no sense of smell. Perfume has become one of modern people's daily necessities and its scents not only relieve fatigue and nervous stress but also make people joyful and relaxed. The perfume available now is sprayed on skin or clothes so that the scent is easily lost in a short time and some people with sensitive skin may have allergies. Once the points where the perfume is applied are far away from user's face or nose, the user can't smell the scent of the perfume easily. As to the eyeglasses, the user needs to wear them on the nose and face for a long time. If the eyeglasses can release a fresh scent, users can feel fresh and comfortable while wearing them.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Therefore, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a type of fragrant eyeglasses in which at least one fragrant tablet is arranged at a nose bridge of eyeglasses for allowing users to smell scents emanated from the fragrant tablet easily.


In order to achieve the above object, a type of fragrant eyeglasses according to the present invention includes an eyeglass body provided with a nose bridge which has a mounting space for mounting at least one fragrance tablet. At least one air inlet and at least one air outlet for guiding air flows are disposed on a front side and a rear side of the mounting space respectively. When the present eyeglasses are fitted on bridge of the nose by the nose bridge, the fragrance tablet mounted in the nose bridge is just adjacent to the nose so that the user smells scents emanated from the fragrance tablet during breathing and feels refreshing and more energetic. The air inlet and the air outlet not only help the emanation of the scents from the fragrance tablet, but also guide the scents from the fragrance tablet to spread along with air flows created by the users who are walking or riding bikes. Thereby the users smell the scents easier to revitalize their minds and bodies.

A wing portion 211 is formed on each of two sides of the bridge body 21 and provided with a mounting slot 212 which is mounted and connected to the notch 121 of the lens 12. The connection piece 22 is formed above the two wing portions 211 of the bridge body 21 for being mounted to the positioning area 132 of the nose-bridge assembly portion 13 on the frame 11. A first tenon 221 is formed on an upper end of the connection piece 22 for being locked and positioned in the first locking slot 133 on an upper end of the nose-bridge assembly portion 13. A limit area 231 is formed between the two limiting pieces 23 and used for mounting the two positioning pieces 131 on the frame 11 therein while a second locking slot 232 is formed under the limit area 231 for being locked and positioned by the second tenon 134 on a lower end of the nose-bridge assembly portion 13 at the frame 11. The fixing-piece assembly portion 24 is formed between the two wing portions 211 of the bridge body 21 and provided with a locking hole 241 on a top end thereof and two pivot holes 242 on left and the right sides thereof. The fixing piece 25 includes a pivot pin 251 disposed on each of two sides thereof, a locking block 252 formed on an upper end thereof, and at least one air inlet 253 corresponding to the mounting space 26. The pivot pin 251 is pivotally connected to the pivot hole 242 of the fixing-piece assembly portion 24 while the locking block 252 is mounted and locked in the locking hole 241 on the top end of the fixing-piece assembly portion 24. The fixing-piece assembly portion 24 is further provided with at least one air outlet 243 corresponding to the mounting space 26 while both the air outlet 243 and the air inlet 253 are aligned with each other and communicated with the mounting space 26.


The fragrance tablet 3 is mounted in the mounting space 26 of the nose bridge 2 and provided with essential oil attached thereto.


While in use, the locking block 252 on the upper end of the fixing piece 25 and the locking hole 241 on the top end of the fixing-piece assembly portion 24 of the nose bridge 2 are released from the locked state. Then the fragrance tablet 3 is mounted into the mounting space 26 formed between the fixing-piece assembly portion 24 and the fixing piece 25. Next the locking block 252 of the fixing piece 25 is locked into the locking hole 241 on the top end of the fixing-piece assembly portion 24 again so that the fragrance tablet 3 is mounted and fixed in the mounting space 26 of the nose bridge 2.


When users wear the present eyeglasses, the nose bridge 2 is arranged on the nose of the user by the wing portions 211 on two sides thereof and the fragrance tablet 3 in the nose bridge 2 is just located adjacent to the user's nose. Thus users can smell scents emanated from the fragrance tablet 3 and thus feel refreshing and even relieve from fatigue. Moreover, the fixing-piece assembly portion 24 and the fixing piece 25 of the nose bridge 2 are provided with the air outlet 243 and the air inlet 253 respectively at the position corresponding to the mounting space 26. Such arrangement not only helps scented emanation of the fragrance tablet 3 but also allows users to smell the scents emanated from the fragrance tablet 3 easier while there are air flows created by users who are walking, riding bikes, etc. The air flows flow into the mounting space 26 through the air inlet 253 of the fixing piece 25 in front of the mounting space 26 and then blow out through the air outlet 243 of the fixing-piece assembly portion 24 at the rear side of the mounting space 26. Thus the scents from the fragrance tablet 3 are blown to user's face together with the air flows. Thereby the present device wakes users up and relaxes their minds and bodies.


Refer to FIGS. 5-7, another embodiment of the present invention is disclosed. In this embodiment, a nose bridge 4 includes a bridge body 41 which is provided with a wing portion 411 on each of two sides thereof and a mounting slot 412 formed on the wing portion 411 for being mounted and connected to the notch 121 of the lens 12 correspondingly.
